Jammu, May 24: Continuing killings of unarmed cops in Kashmir Valley after repeated intervals, terrorists on Tuesday killed a constable of Jammu and Kashmir Police in Srinagar. The daughter of the deceased constable was also injured in the terror attack.
Reports said that a policeman was killed while his daughter was injured after terrorists fired upon him in the ever-busy Soura area of Srinagar city.
The killed cop has been identified as Saifullah Qadri son of Mohammad Syed Qadri resident of Malik Sahib Soura.
Today was the third attack on unarmed cops in Kashmir Valley within the last 15 days.
On May 5, a policeman of the Jammu and Kashmir Police was killed by unidentified terrorists in Srinagar city. The policeman in civvies was attacked near Aiwa Bridge along Dr. Ali Jan Road in the Srinagar district.
Reports said that constable Ghulam Hassan Dar son of Ghulam Rasool Dar of Eidgah area of Srinagar city was a driver in the police department. He was on his way to Police Control Room on his bike when he was fired upon by terrorists.
On May 13 terrorists shot at a policeman who later succumbed to his injuries an hour in the hospital.
According to the report, terrorists fired upon constable Riyaz Ahmad Thoker son of Ali Mohammad at his residence in the Gudoora area of Pulwama district.
The injured constable was immediately shifted to district hospital Pulwama where he was referred to Army Hospital where he succumbed to his injuries.
Experts said that attack on cops was a part of a deep-rooted conspiracy of mentors of terrorists sitting across the border.
Experts cautioned that Pakistan-sponsored terrorists have intensified targeted killings of cops only to demoralize J&K Police.
Three cops of the Jammu and Kashmir Police were killed during the last 15 days.
“Recent selective killings of cops were part of the deep-rooted strategy devised by the mentors of terrorists- sitting across the border”, experts said and cautioned that the new strategy of terrorists was aimed at demoralizing J&K Police which has been playing a dominant role in anti-terror operations for the last 30 years.
They said terrorists select the soft target to create a fear psychosis among cops.
Experts said that over 90 percent of anti-terror operations in J&K are usually conducted on the intelligence inputs provided by the J&K Police.
“Local police have a village-level strong network. It is all due to this network that forces have succeeded in eliminating dreaded terrorists”, experts said and pointed out that targeting cops, after repeated intervals, was a new trend aimed at demoralizing local police. |
